	The American Adventure is made up of one large building and an outdoor amphitheater. The pavilion's main structure took inspiration from buildings in Williamsburg, Virginia, Independence Hall in Philadelphia, the Old State House in Boston, and Thomas Jefferson's Monticello. In order to see the American Adventure attraction, guests must pass through the pavilion's main indoor entrance. Here, they find themselves in a colonial lobby centered around a large rotunda. The main rotunda is about 35 high and it features 12 large columns <ref name= "Jack"/>. Around the room guests are surrounded by inspirational quotes that correspond to various pieces of hung artwork. On the far side of the lobby, guests can tour the American Heritage Gallery which houses various exhibits. 15 minutes prior to showings of the American Adventure attraction, guests are treated to an a cappella performance by the Voices of Liberty in the pavilion's rotunda.
